https://metro.co.uk/2022/12/20/Chelsea-jorginho-walks-out-of-interview-after-question-about-his-future-17968955/ He avoided the question so I feel like he will leave if he gets a better offer. Not the worst thing in the world IF we can find an anchor for our midfield. He was also asked play, bench sell Modric, Bellingham, Jorginho and he said play Modric, bench Bellingham, sell himself.

None of those look like superstars to me. Feel like we will pay for choosing fofana over Gvardiol over the coming years.

Scored a hattrick against brentford today. I hope he replaces Auba and starts scoring for fun.

Yeah they probably still want him on a 2 year loan 20% wages with no obligation to buy. That's true but some come out amazing. Van persie was one of my favourites and Antony (Manure) more recently has a good future ahead of him.

I think he's really good as a squad player. Homegrown and a workhorse. Wouldn't want him to be the first name on the sheet though...

One of the worst signings of the decade. At least Malang Sarr was free. I doubt he goes anywhere due to his wages so best hope is he agrees to mutually terminate his contract.

You forgot kovacic, there was a report this year that he was disillusioned because of the change in manager and owner and might seek a move away.

Probably doubled after his last save

https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/12770359/moises-caicedo-Chelsea-liverpool-interested-in-brighton-midfielder Liverpool is also in for Caicedo.

That's because cancelo plays as an inverted wingback for city so he's basically a DM for them. A niche role and real don't play the same way as city. His output has changed this year because they changed system due to Haaland joining. He is back to fullback and that's why he's not putting out the same g/a as previous years.

We should sell him now while his stock is at an all time high.

Amrabat looked like crap today. I hope Tottenham overpays for him. I would prefer we sign someone relatively unknown as Caicedo and Lavia will cost 50m+ each. PL tax is getting worse by the season. Locatelli looked good when Italy won euros albeit a bit slow for PL. You were right when we missed out on tchoumeni, we will regret that for years to come. Camavinga as well, but we can't compete with Real especially atm.

Edson Alvarez sucks and is worse than jorginho. We should be making our squad stronger not watering it down. @Vesperis Rice the best DM we can sign?

Donkeyakus misses against Croatia I don't disagree with what you have said but please watch the second half of these highlights and tell me what is so big fish about him. If anything he is a fat pig stranded at sea. His ego is precisely the problem because he thinks he's too good for the team when staying at Everton would've probably been the best career move of his entire life. De bruyne played with the likes of Claudio bravo and otamendi and salah plays week in week out with Hendo shouting at him. They never say a word and are only concerned with their football. That is what makes them so world class. Ronaldo and messi played with shit players, it's mot an excuse because it's a team game. Big fish own the pond. Donkeyaku was never a big fish.

Osimhen would cost a fortune though. I fully expect another auba level striker to join next month.

Don't think we should go for this. He's been playing in a farmers league for too long. 75m is waaay too much for someone of his calibre.

All we get is dregs though. I fully expect Gvardiol to reject us now for Real or City in the summer.

https://www.football.london/Chelsea-fc/transfer-news/Chelsea-hijack-arsenal-mudryk-transfer-25765807 We are in for Mudryk.

Evening standard reporting we are in for cunha Anyone seen much of him? Apparently he is a bench player for atletico, is he being eyed as the Ziyech replacement?

So probably Puli Auba Sterling as the front line...we are very weak in attack, no wonder we are looking to sign a striker. I wouldn't be surprised if we signed a winger as well if Puli/Ziyech leave

Fat and on loan to Inter? Apparently he's the next Drogba...

What's our Lineup for this game? Kepa James Fofana Koulibaly Cucu Mount Jorginho Zakaria/Carney Ziyech Auba Sterling/Pulisic Looks like this to me

Leicester about to outbid barca for Ounahi. L'Equipe are reporting 45m bid.

Gvardiol is not coming here. All of Europe is after him and we don't have guaranteed UCL to offer him next season. Let's talk about realistic targets please.

https://www.football.london/Chelsea-fc/transfer-news/rafael-leao-Chelsea-transfer-lukaku-25748677?int_source=amp_continue_reading&int_medium=amp&int_campaign=continue_reading_button#amp-readmore-target This is what I'm saying about Leao. He might have good attacking stats but does he track back? People laugh at us because we big up Mount's workrate but it was because of his crap workrate that fat Rom failed here. It remains to be seen if he could improve this aspect of his game, but are we willing to drop 70-100m to help teach him to track back? Unpopular opinion: I would prefer Zaha on a free rather than another multimillion flop. Edit: An exception to this was Hazard but he was good enough to build the team around him so he wouldnt have to track back, similar to how Leao/Giroud are at Milan. Is he good enough to build our team around him though?
